Put it all in. Add anything else that's relevant: Martial arts, instruments, singing class, choir, desktop movies and slide shows, modeling.

If you have a website, add the link.

If you have a demo tape, head shot, or CD, include it.

That's not much, comparatively speaking. List 'em all. When you get more experience, you'll list only the larger and more recent stage roles and remove the modeling and the variety show.

I'd also consider listing every kind of backstage or house work you've done. Most professionals appreciate that an actor who knows how to run box office or how to hang lights is more likely to respect, cooperate, and appreciate the interconnected parts of the enterprise.
